Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the mainstream unit of SRAM is 6T structure, such as figure 1 Shown is a schematic diagram of the traditional 6T SRAM storage unit circuit structure. In order to make the 6T SRAM storage unit have higher stability, the size of the tube can be optimized, but the read and write capabilities of the tube of the optimized 6TSRAM storage unit are limited, and due to There is a competition between the data to be written and the saved data value, and the write operation is prone to failure at low voltage. If the 6T unit is used in the bit interleaved structure, it will cause read interference and write half-selection problems

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuits, in particular to an SRAM storage unit circuit with low bit line leakage current, and a storage array composed of the SRAM storage unit circuit. Background technique [0002] The low-voltage design is widely used because of its low power consumption, especially for high-density integrated circuits such as SRAM memory cells. However, as the power supply voltage decreases, SRAM memory cells are more significantly affected by process fluctuations, resulting in reduced read and write stability of SRAM memory cells and even errors, which place higher requirements on the design of SRAM memory cells. At the same time, with the continuous shrinking of the process size and the increase of the storage capacity, the soft error rate of the memory becomes higher and higher. The traditional error correction coding technology can only solve the single-bit soft error rate. As the process node enters ...
